as someone named Abdul i’ll never understand what it’s like to be generalized by the actions of a few. must be rough, thank you for sharing your story.
this should be as big of news as the notre dame fire imo. polynesian history is incredibly rich and the people of rapa nui were the most skilled sailors/explorers ever (yes, ever!). this history is important and deserves all our preservation efforts. they’ve already lost so much.
A fire on Chile's Easter Island has caused irreparable damage to its iconic ‘Moai’ stone statues. The blaze swept through Rapa Nui National Park earlier this week, causing several stones to crack, Mayor Pedro Edmunds told
@Reuters
Israeli soldiers shielded hostages with their bodies. Hamas terrorists shield themselves with civilians’ bodies. That’s the difference between us and them.
i can’t believe this… they really killed him….. one of the most important voices in gaza. they’re targeting our academics, doctors, journalists, teachers etc etc right in front of the whole world. i’m sick….
Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world.
He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...
i was born in this hospital. so was my dad. it predates the creation of the settler colonial state of israel by decades. there are no words to describe what it feels like to see this image… to see your history erased with impunity. shame on this world.
it is legitimately fucking insane how many videos of cops abusing people came out in the last 24 hours alone. with the whole world watching they don’t give a single fuck. imagine what they were doing when we weren’t looking.
i can’t believe i took this photo…. i’ve been staring at it all day because i used to look up to photographers who did this so much and nOW I’M THAT GUY. I TOOK THIS PICTURE OF OUR OWN GALAXY ARM!!!
Mars is bright tonight. I took this last night as Mars nears opposition. It’s the brightest and closest it’s been since 2003. We won’t see this again since 2035.
It’s so bright it’s reflecting orange-red light on the ocean as it rises.
nazis storming the capitol and the police are just asking them to stop calmly. when people asked for basic human rights they were shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed and run over by the police. remember that. remember it forever.
A full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour won't be able to afford a 2-bedroom rental anywhere in the United States, a new report says
she said yee! i said haw. four years of long distance, i can’t believe this is real. thank you bringing so much light into my life every single day. i love you 🥰
so uh..... my friend and i strapped a 400mm lens on a regular camera and used a star tracking mount to try to take a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy and it.... worked! that is a whole ass other galaxy with hundreds of billions of suns. holy shit
THE STEELERS WOULDNT TRADE ANTONIO BROWN TO THE PATRIOTS SO HE WENT TO THE RAIDERS, WENT NUTS, GOT CUT AND WENT TO NEW ENGLAND ANYWAY LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
haven’t had electricity or time to edit but i took this earlier today. the desert is so remarkably dark. you can see the entire milky way with the naked eye.
peep saturn on the left side! the brightest spot.
WOWWWW brand new photos of Jupiter from the Juno spacecrafts 9th orbit. Peep the moons Io and Europa in the last photo! We’ve never had this level of detail!!
PS i was advil first. that’s why i have the username. they stole my name not the other way around. they are the imposter and are tainting my image with their shitty big pharma image. i am just an extremely talented and handsome and humble artist trying to live in peace!!!
hello fellow adults. my gf and i have a question... what is the correct amount of towels to own? i said 10 and she looked at me like i was crazy. we have zero frame of reference on the appropriate amount of towels in a household of two.
still can’t get over this photo i took last april. took a spur of the moment road trip to cape cod at like 11pm because the conditions were just perfect to test out my new astro lens.
i still can’t believe i did this!!!
y’all ever think about how sad life is? working 5 days a week with a constant fear of losing your job for only two days off. then you spend sunday thinking and preparing for your next week of work. then you do it again. and again. then you die.
Finally awake and got a chance to edit a photo from last night. Lots of light pollution was hard to mitigate but… IT’S FINALLY MILKY WAY SEASON! That is a spiral arm of our own galaxy you’re seeing there. Millions of stars, just like our own sun, right in our backyard.
i was asked to leave this beach once when i was a kid because i’m arab. my mom yelled at the lifeguard and told him we’re americans on vacation and to shut up and he let us stay 💀 finding out my mom was fluent in hebrew this way is one of my favorite memories lmao
it was never about khamas. it was about destroying our home and colonizing it. look at the destruction of my city. look how proud they are of it. zionism is a death cult.
Stephen Hawking dying before ever receiving a Nobel Prize for his 1974 paper on the disintegration of black holes (now known as Hawking Radiation) breaks my heart. I am so sad.
